In this practice, I have chosen a Japanese fairy tale “For a pair of gloves”

For the next, please try to translate this story into English

Title: Love, Like and Cherish

Description:
On Oct. 13th, I'd like to present a small talking/discussion corner.
In that time, I'd like you to discuss the things you like very much from two angles.

1. Names of several things or something are written in a sheet.
I'd like you to select the one you like best and comment the reasons
(why you like it best).
If the comment is very reasonable, please give him/her a big clap.
2. I hope you to write down many things you like, genre by genre,
and tell the reasons.

I guess if you think about the things you like and forget the things
you don't like, you feel happy and will be optimistic.

Thank You.
